Leave It Straight Pipe or Not?

Leave It Straight Pipe or Not?
Had a straight pipe put on my truck Friday. I put a 2.5" pipe put on from the last cat all the way out the back. I am debating putting on a Magnaflow/Flo-Pro muffler that is SI/SO and keep the piping the way it is. Or put a Magnaflow/Flo-Pro muffler that is SI/DO. Would there be any difference in the sound between a SI/SI or SI/DO?
Here is the raspy sound it makes now lol. At high RPMs it sounds like straight rice, so I have to get rid of that.

Well at least not just one straight pipe lol. But there is hardly any drone, actually less than my previous set up. Of course my previous set up was like a lightning truck with the muffler right under the cab, so drone was to be expected.
But I'm thinking a muffler will bring back that richer tone maybe and some lowness to the exhaust note.

Taylor, did you have the muffler mounted in stock position and the pipes going out the back?

screw mufflers I'm pretty much running open headers on my 4.0 jeep. louder than **** outside, and inside. I have people compliment me on it all the time, some ask if I swapped in a v8 when I had a 3.0 ranger it sounded like complete **** when I had it straight piped. I got sick of sounding like a ricer and threw on a stock muffler. straight pipes sound better without the cat's, but I wont say anything else because I'll probably get stoned to my death by some environmentalists.

Well today, I went back to the muffler shop and had the old magnaflow put on with pipes coming out the back in a 45 degree angle under the bumper.
With 2.5" all the way back and the magnaflow on, the truck now has a good low tone to it, along with a nasty growl under hard acceleration. I am pleased for now lol.
